2017 Ford F-150 Raptor struts its stuff in off-road testing video - Digital Trends

The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor won’t arrive in showrooms until over a year from now, but Ford is steadily testing the off-road truck that debuted at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Ford released a short video clip of a Raptor prototype undergoing testing at an undisclosed, heavily forested location. The video also shows the Raptor twisting itself over some undulations pretty impressively, and being shadowed by some first-generation Raptors. The EcoBoost engine is expected to produce around 450 horsepower , compared to 411 horsepower for the outgoing V8. Related: 2016 Ford F-150 Limited will watch your blind spots and give you a massage.
